Key word being EVERYONE !!!
If this could be complied with totally, and not just a few we would really appreciate it.
lefties righties, is not the point, but if you want to make it one I challenge anyone to go see which side is doing it eh? The point is that in the last couple of weeks alone, jabs are being taken against people, using these tools to do it. This is what needs to stop. I have no problem with those tools when used appropriately, however that is not the case. I do not think it benefits anyone other than those with an agenda be it, politics, relition or any other topic. I have witnessed very mean actions and the point is that these tools are being used to hurt others, period. And something needs done to address it. If these issues cannot be addressed to the satisfaction of all here, then maybe we should back track and make certain topics off limits? That is not what I am advocating but if it is the only way to control the situation then maybe that subject needs revisited. The lefty thing is really getting old and is just one example of the hate that is spreading even while discussing this topic. Evidence alone it needs addressed.
Hi everyone -
Let's keep this to sidebars, ok? The rest doesn't belong in this thread.
As to sidebars, we appreciate the feedback, and the suggestions. New features are oftentimes discussed, and we'll be certain to review all suggestions the next time they're reviewed.
I think it's a good time to remember that MedHelp's primary mission is to be a safe and supportive medical info site. That's safe and supportive for everyone - people on every side of the political or religious spectrums. We don't expect everyone to agree, but we do expect that everyone stays respectful and civil, according to our Terms of Use. If everyone can maintain that, then the mood statements won't be an issue at all.
Thanks again for the feedback.

It seems to me, that as long as the "instigating," "controversial subjects," the insults and attacks are from one that leans toward liberalism, there is no problem, but when one of us that are more conservative just state our opinions or something going on, then we are told statements such as: like "I am so offended" or "If you want to be that stupid and believe that," or even "How ignorant."
If you don't like what you are reading, then do like we do. Go on to the next thing.
I think the whining and crying because it is not what you want to hear should be stopped.
I think people should grow up and allow people freedom of speech, for ALL people, not just those of the liberal persuasion.
Here's the thing, with the lefties, if you don't like it, then you insult the person instead of the issue. That is what offends me. However, for some reason, there is a double standard here, and myself and other conservatives are fair game when it comes to offending.
How about practice what you preach!!!
I don't know how this hide a bar thing works. Is it made so if the person doesn't want to see the journal they can just click something to hide it? That way each individual maybe could choose for themselves.
I don't think these topics need to stay in the groups. I can't tell you how many times I've had people tell me how much something meant to them or touched them from something I put in a journal. I do try to make them inspirational and uplifting, of course, but I've had so many people write to me thanking me saying it gave them hope or peace. I'd hate to take that away from anyone.
everyone doesnt have to see them do they I dont go to every journal and click on it, why would you, we have all put politics and religion into the journals..I would like to know how it affects sick people if they dont go to the site , they can just as easily go onto a group..whats the differance here ?
